Make a stranger laugh. Don't laugh back.
omegLOL is a competitive "try not to laugh" webcam game. You're matched live with a stranger, one of you performs and the other tries to keep a straight face. Your webcam reads the smiles and laughs and keeps score, then you swap, tally it up, and climb the ranked ladder. Play 1v1, or invite a friend for 2v2.
It's the old idea of talking to strangers online, but with a point: a game, a score, and a reason to come back and do it funnier. Detection runs on your own device and video goes straight between players, our site only adds to the game aspect.
Auto-paired with a random opponent, cam to cam.
30 seconds to make them lose it. Bit, face, impression... whatever works.
Then you swap. Now they try to break you.
Every smile and laugh is detected in real time and tallied.
Win to gain Elo, rank up, come back funnier.
I began this project to learn the process of system design after missing out on an internship for the summer. The technical side of this thing took about 3 weeks, both because I am an amateur and also because I enjoy golf (18 handicap), rocket league (champ 2), and my girlfriend. My irons and wedges are pretty solid, short game isn't the worst, but I am so God awful off the tee. If any solid golfers near Indianapolis enjoy omegLOL and want to give me some lessons hit my line (LinkedIn).
Also, I'm a senior in college getting my MS in Intelligent Systems Engineering in just one (1) extra semester to my BS in Computer Science. Check my resume out in the footer! If anyone has any co-op opportunities for 26-27, hit me up!
